The audio world is lately focusing on podcast creation and development. This phenomenon that goes beyond the simple radio program, is becoming a success in many countries, not only in the United States, but in many countries.
The creation of podcasts is fortunately not tied to a certain system and in Ubuntu we can create a podcast professionally without having to pay for any license or depend on any specific program. Next we will talk about three options that we can use and install in Ubuntu 17.04.
Audacity
This program that was born for the Gnu / Linux platform has become the most popular and that has caused it to be taken to other platforms. Its handling it is very simple and for novice users it is ideal, not only because of its use but also because of the almost professional options it offers for creating podcasts. What's more, Audacity contains a library of audios and filters that will help us improve the audio podcast or add special effects.
The installation of Audacity through the terminal is done through the line:
sudo apt-get install audacity
Ardor
The Ardor software is software similar to Audacity, but the learning curve is quite a bit more difficult than in Audacity. Ardor's functions are similar to Audacity's, but unlike Audacity, Ardor offers a more professional solution than Audacity. This software being compatible with a lot of specialized hardware. Ardor can be installed through the terminal as follows:
sudo apt-get install ardour
OBS Studio
Many users decide to make podcasts from live broadcasts or online conversations. This is something that programs like Audacity or Ardor cannot do, but in the case of OBS Studio we can. OBS Studio allows us to create podcasts and broadcast them through famous platforms such as Twitch or Youtube. After the broadcast, the user will be able to save the file as one more podcast and upload it to the platform. We can install OBS Studio through the terminal by typing the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install obs-studio
Conclusion
These three programs are ideal for creating podcasts, whether we are novice users or expert users. In any case, there is no impediment to create podcast with Ubuntu as operating system Do not you think?
